B. C. Forbes, a financial columnist for the Hearst papers, and his partner Walter Drey, the general manager of the Magazine of Wall Street, founded Forbes magazine in 1917. Forbes provided the money and the name and Drey provided the publishing expertise. The original name of the magazine was Forbes: Devoted to Doers and Doings. Drey became vice-president of the B.C. Forbes Publishing Company, while B.C. Forbes became editor-in-chief, a post he held until his death in 1954. B.C. Forbes was assisted in his later years by his two eldest sons, Bruce Charles Forbes (1916–1964) and Malcolm Stevenson Forbes (1917–1990).
William Henry "Bill" Gates III (born October 28, 1955) is an American business magnate, philanthropist, investor, and computer programmer. In 1975, Gates and Paul Allen co-founded Microsoft, which became the world's largest PC software company. During his career at Microsoft, Gates held the positions of chairman, CEO and chief software architect, and was the largest individual shareholder until May 2014. Gates has authored and co-authored several books.
Starting in 1987, Gates was included in the Forbes list of the world's wealthiest people and was the wealthiest from 1995 to 2007, again in 2009, and has been since 2014. Between 2009 and 2014, his wealth doubled from US$40 billion to more than US$82 billion. Between 2013 and 2014, his wealth increased by US$15 billion. Gates is currently the richest person in the world.
Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. Gates has been criticized for his business tactics, which have been considered anti-competitive, an opinion which has in some cases been upheld by numerous court rulings. Later in his career Gates pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000.

Plot: Romulus and Remus are two CIA agents, their direct instructor is John Elliott. They both were picked up at an orphanage by Elliott at the age of about eight, raised together as brothers and specially trained to supersede every other agent in the service. This is what they know. What they do not know is that they are part of a system Elliott had invented to build up his own private army of pros which can be assigned to any job he wishes. One day Romulus takes over a job in the course of which he and his team blow up a house and about half a dozen civilians with it. After that Romulus feels he is being chased by both men of the CIA and the Mossad. He has to find out that Elliott betrayed both him and Remus from the start. Elliott used them and others, which were recruited and raised the same way Romulus and Remus were, to support a secret agreement that was constituted between top secret service leaders of England, France, Russia, Germany and the USA after the second world war. To its effect it says that no nation shall make greater progress in any field than all the others are. The conspirators intend to preserve the status quo in both economical and political aspects. As Romulus, now joined by Remus and a female Mossad- executive he was romantically involved with years ago, finds out about all of this he wants to take revenge on Elliott who in his opinion stole not only their lives, but also many more and destroyed thousands of others.

tare down the gates release the apes
see we got what it takes to guzzle lakes and cause earthquakes
ever talk to dead a man with a lead hand who could have lead man to conquering
jesus i don’t mean to be facetious but he’s just what we trust when we bus
i’m an awkward observation evaluating a nation
disguised as a haitian, asian, italy indian caucasian
blessed an blazin' a bar raisin’ occasion is my situation what you thought you was facin'
humm, that’s where you’re wrong! ††my faith strong like teflon. i tell'em get up, get, get gone!
shonlock a strong arm standing on crates pickin' the lock to the gates you better ring the alarm!
halt, stop, cease, release
a jersey chica hear to rock this piece.
rooted deep with a mind to increase christ
less of my flesh so it’s tight.
constant death to my flesh so it’s right.
you tell me that this world is quite trife
and it breathes breathless scenarios
bumps nonsense up in your stereo.
world philosophers has got to go, flee.
don’t be blinded like the three.
plato, socrates, and niche tell you god is dead and not we.
even before ’74 i was destined to win and strive for more.
until then i gotsta roll like a skater,
hear me now or hear me later.
CHORUS
can you hear me now? what about now?
shake the gates and watch them come down!
can you hear me now? what about now?
people getting loud to victorious sounds!
take it back by force y’all, some say violent
make the naysayers say, shhh stay silent.
gain way! that’s true indeed
rumblin’ stronger than elephants in full stampede.
trained for the combat built rock diesel
injected with a power that can quicken dead people.
some stay sleep but that’s not us
we’re infamous, unpopular in the populus.
you can like to love us or love to hate
if you’re not locked inside them, then storm the gates.
too many held up inside this invisible grid
what you mean what would he do? we gotta do what he did.
getting it done plundering the pits for the son
the west was won by cowboys blazin’ they’re guns.
poker face is on, ready for play offs
smart under control in the midst of chaos.
